HELP PLEASE! On Oddworld.com

Lovo328 · #1 12-28-2005, 06:24 PM

I am having a VERY hard time trying to download music from the downloads section of Oddworld.com. When I right click on "Play MP3" and download the file, it downloads it as a movie clip. If I do what it says and click then right click on the new window, it won't let me download as an MP3. Instead, it downloads as a damn movie clip, when it ISN'T a movie clip! This is so frustrating. I want to make a HUGE oddworld MP3 CD with all the games on one CD, and this is the only thing holding me back. All I need is that Munch Remix song. I'll worry about stranger later.

ANY help would be appreciated, THANKS!

EDIT: here's a direct link

There could be 2 ways to solve this, that I can think of.

1: Left click to download it, dont right click. Right clicking will just give you options.

2: I think you may be able to play the song even if it show as a movie. This happened to me once and, I just clicked play and it worked.

If these dont work, I do have this song on my ipod and computer. If you know of a way that I could somehow give it to you, I gladly will.

I can play it, but I need the MP3 file. If I left click it, quicktime player opens up in the same internet explorer window as an MP3, but if I try the save target as, then it downloads it as a stupid @$$ movie file! This is so irritating...

...I have the MP3 now, but what I did was recorded it live with sound recorder as a WAV. Then I burned the ONE song on a CD, then ripped that CD to get it as an MP3... how annoying. I guess I will skip the stranger's wrath music. I mean, doing that 10 times? BLAHHH!!!

It's downloading as a movie clip?! Hmm....that's strange because nothing like that ever happened to me when I was downloading it. Are you right-clicking on the "Play MP3" link and then clicking "Save Target As"? That's how I got mine to work, actually.

Edit: Nevermind-it seems like we posted at the same time!

Yesss, I did EXACTLY that, OddChick. My computer is sooo freakin STUPID and it's a month and a half old!

Hmm....well, I'm not sure what to tell you, then. Sorry.

Is the Stranger music the only stuff you're having trouble with?

Everything on that site. It thinks it's ALL movie clips. Yet it plays as if it were an audio MP3 file! I had the first three munch MP3s, but the last one I didn't have and now it is downloading it as a movie clip, as well as all the stranger MP3s.

Hmm.....that really is strange. I usually have problems with the movie clips on there sometimes. Sometimes they'll work and sometimes they won't for some reason. :-/

I have no idea.
I have almost all the songs on my computer. So if there is anyway I can help..................

This never happens to me, I dont know whats wrong.

Nevermind. I don't have time. Thanks for all your help offerings, though. And if anyone knows the answer to this mystery, please feel free to put their 2¢ in. Thanks.

What do you mean, you dont have time? Time to solve this?

Does this have to be done soon or something?

What do you mean that it downloads as a movie file? What file extension does it have?
